The construction of the Rickelsbüller Koog began in 1979, and it was inaugurated in 1981. It is named after the village of Rickelsbüll, which was lost in the Great Flood on December 1, 1615, the remains of which are located under the dike between the Wiedingharder Neuen Koog and the Rickelsbüller Koog. In 1982, the koog was declared a nature reserve, thus replacing the previous protected area 'Bird Sanctuary North Sea East of Sylt'. On December 10, 1997, an information pavilion was opened by the Schleswig-Holstein state government, which provides information about the bird species found there in both German and Danish.

Located directly on the German/Danish border. Good opportunity for a break, delicious cake and coffee. When the weather is nice, you can use the terrace.

An unexpectedly well-built little trail park in the middle of nowhere. It was really fun! I highly recommend all three sections. Section 1 offers plenty of flowing turns and even a short steep descent. Everything is well-signposted and intuitive to ride, even suitable for beginners. Have fun and ride safe!

An unexpectedly well-built little trail park in the middle of nowhere. It was really fun! I highly recommend all three sections. Section 3 even features a Northshore element, which is also easy for beginners to ride thanks to its relatively wide design. Have fun and ride safe!

Northernmost point of mainland Germany It's not spectacular, but if you're cycling the North Sea Cycle Route, it's a must-see. Seeing this spot is a must 😉. There's a shelter in the parking lot for shelter in case of rain. There's also information about the dike construction and the Wadden Sea.
